What Users Love About the App

“My 8yo found this on my phone. I downloaded it for his older sister who never used it. He loved it. The concepts are introduced so well and clearly that he understood each video and proceeded to do every lesson independently.”

“I have struggled with algebra since it was first introduced to me in 9th grade. All I have to say is Thank god for this unique and easy way of learning algebra I am struggling no more. It’s fun it makes me excited for math instead of dread it. Download it guys you will not regret it.”

“Using this with my middle school daughters. We homeschool and they are taking pre algebra and algebra this year. Both were struggling with equations and love how this visualizes it!”

“This is great game to learn basic algebraic equations for me as a 6th Grader. I enjoyed the set up and was able to get through the lessons all on my first day. I can’t wait to try the hands on equations app 2!”

“Hands on Equations is a fun way for students to see Algebra in a concrete way. The app works for all types of learners. They watch the video and hear a brief explanation. They then move the manipulatives on the screen.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I really liked the free version of this one so I decided to pay for this 1st group of lessons. I’m hoping it’s a temporary problem, but the pieces that are supposed to be on the scale show up below it and they get in the way of other buttons. I hope this gets fixed.”

“It has a bad side. I nearly got hacked and it gave away personal info.”

“I can’t get the videos to play. Otherwise the problem solving approach is unique and a great way to learn to solve equations.”

“Absolutely useless app. It teaches trial and error. No semblance of mathematical method at all.”

“Hardly worth buying, the Lite version covers about %80 of the same material. I was disappointed to find that it only has 6 lessons to it. Also, this app does not cover fractions at all.”
